To Our Veterans:
How do you say thank you to the men and women who fought for freedom, who risked not just a life but your time, purpose, even hopes and dreams in order to fulfill a mission, a spiritual call to defend the fruits of a nation built on the tenets of for, by and of the people. We are “those people” who you protected, fought for and in some cases, for whom your comrades gave their life. And in this explosive world of healthcare, we find ourselves energized and in full admiration of your heroic efforts, both in preparation and in battle. You symbolize what it takes to be tough, to endure, to understand that the foxhole is a place to replenish, to protect, to strategize and defend, and the battle line is the place to fight. And now it is our turn to fight for you, and with you.

We have a resident at Summerfield, Marion Carter, who is The Veteran of the Year in Kentucky! Local news stations are there now getting the whole story. Congratulations again! We have royalty among us. All of you are.

We think about all the emotions it must have taken, the self-discipline, the inner strength to overcome doubt, the courage to step out in battle, the decision to strike down the enemy, the ability to trust the plan.

Whether you are a veteran stakeholder or resident, we honor you – our thousands of veterans who kept and keep the bells of freedom singing, to ensure that this nation could vote and protect its democratic ways in this recent election, that choice is still ours, that our borders are impenetrable and that because of you, we are the greatest nation on earth, and we are free.
